Episode 1: The Jamaican Bobsled Team of Lithium

Joe and Emily are in in Santiago, Chile, where the drama surrounding SQM and Corfo is unfolding prior to a presidential election. Joe makes a new best lithium friend in Julio Ponce. Joe and Emily are joined by Matt Craze to discuss the lithium royalty schemes affecting SQM and Albemarle, as well as SQM’s strategy as a global mining company.

Episode 2: Drama in the Atacama

Joe and Emily are joined in Perth by Neometals, where they discuss the lithium supply chain, and what exactly is meant by upstream and downstream. They cover the cost curve and “urban mining” via recycling battery materials. Joe comments on the “indigestion” in the supply chain, and the purgatory of the lithium industry. How many hydroxide plants will we see in The Great Oz? Will SQM’s deal with Corfo flood the market? Is there a coming disconnect between spodumene concentrate &amp; lithium chemicals pricing. Will DSO ever make it to the Emerald City?

Episode 4: The Last Samurai of Brine

Emily and Joe, abandoned by their GenZer talent for spring break, take on their first remote podcast from Buenos Aires, Argentina and Charlotte, North Carolina respectively. They catch up on news in the lithium space, including BMW’s big turnaround decision to not directly invest in lithium assets, versus automakers like Toyota’s strategy.  We chat about the status of Gangfeng’s and Tiang’s IPOs in Hong Kong, and urban mining and ecosystem are still the watch words. Over on the Chilean side of the Andes, Mr. Dr. Bitran has left Corfo and Canadian PotashCorp has not yet sold its stake in SQM. Joe channeled his inner Kim Kardashian when he broke the internet by publishing his new supply and demand forecasts through 2025. Joe differs from the “flood forecasters” at Morgan Stanley and others on what’s going to come out of the Atacama but agrees with Albemarle and others on a few things. Piedmont sets the bar with the “Manhattan Project of Swag”. Emily may be suffering long term skin damage for lack of her Lithium Americas hat. Joe and Emily will be coming at you from China in April, where they’ll catch up with … and check out conversion capacity and cathode manufacturing in person.

E10: Lithium News, Myths and Bad Commentary

Global Lithium Podcast, the Best, Worst, and First of its kind.

Clever and informative

These podcasts are a good way to learn about the lithium industry in a fun and approachable way.

Funny and I learned a ton

Global Lithium Podcast

Joe and Emily sit down with Lithium Americas geologist and volcanologist Tom Benson to learn about the origin of lithium. Tom also shares his origin story, passing through Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and Colombia to the fateful article in Nature magazine on the volcanic origins of lithium that landed him his role at Lithium Americas.  Tom shares his passion for energy elements associated with volcanos because of the impact these minerals have on the world. Joe and Emily learn about super volcanos’ role in the formation of brine and pegmatite lithium deposits, and that lithium, like joe’s pizza preferences, can be found in areas with a thick crust – and unfortunately for Tom’s vacation preferences, not in Hawaii. Joe picks Tom’s brain on how the lithium leaches from volcanic material into brines and what patterns volcanic eruptions follow. Tom shares his thoughts on the differences between industry and academia, and the lack of interest and resources in basic geological research in the United States among the younger generations. Joe brings up the topic of where the next wave of lithium projects are coming from, and the reality that an abundance of projects will never come on line because of where they are. Joe and Tom share their discovery of the magic of coffee in recent years, and as always, the episode closes with rapid fire questions. Throwback to one year ago today when I had the privilege of ringing the closing bell on Wall St. with my company @LithiumAmericas. I’m excited for the next year as we work hard to advance our projects at #ThackerPass and #CauchariOlaroz! pic.twitter.com/TpdUqdYZqp— Tom Benson (@thomasrbenson) June 21, 2019 Sounds like the #lithium world these days.

E47: Lithium Origins

On a soggy morning in Santiago Chile, Joe and Emily sit down with Daniel Jimenez, a lithium industry veteran since 1999 to discuss his life spent in lithium. Joe recalls how difficult SQM made his life in sales by bringing the lithium price down.  The three get into the context of the high-profile feud between Corfo and lithium companies regarding moving up the value chain in Chile, and the lost opportunity for the country as a result of not solving the problem quickly. Joe and Danile discuss the potential disconnect between lithium production volume permitted on the Salar de Atacama vs. what is technically feasible, but concur that hydroxide and carbonate prices will converge. Nevertheless, Daniel believes large producers like SQM will keep a foot in both the carbonate and hydroxide worlds to hedge their business and provide battery use for off-spec carbonate. When talking about the lithium and EV markets, Daniel shares his view that demand is linked to when price parity for electric vehicles will be reached, but that while demand could turn quickly, supply forecasts are too optimistic due to investment delays and challenges scaling up. The trio get into the qualification process and time, to which Daniel aptly comments that qualification time is proportional to the availability of lithium, and buyers show flexibility in times of high demand. Daniel and Joe share stories and highlights of the cultural differences between the big battery countries, and what Daniel has observed in his career as a movement towards a more open and warm reception of different cultures and people worldwide. As usual, Emily and Joe close out the episode with some rapid fire questions. Price evolution of Li2CO3 and LiOH confirm two things: 1. Price Gap between LC and LH is becomeing and will eventually be zero.2. CIF NE Asia prices will/are equivalent to domestic prices in China. No price difference between Jap/Kor and China. pic.twitter.com/cbf4HpAkzw— Daniel Jimenez Sch (@D_Jimenez_Sch) July 1, 2019 During the past two weeks in #ARG &amp; #Chile the #GlobalLithiumPodcast team recorded 6 episodes to be released over the next few weeks.

E46: Daniel in the Lithium Den

Joe and Emily are joined by the Benchmark Minerals team of Simon Moores and Andy Miller in James Bond’s hometown of London, England for a cheeky game of Simon Says. In perhaps their most comprehensive episode yet, the four start by discussing the definition of “lithium” as it relates to price. From there, they discuss prices inside and outside China, and differences by contract length and other variables. Next they get into why “lithium spot price” is a misnomer, and how prices are determined. The London conversation then moves on to lithium contracts, markets, and the prices stakeholders should be paying attention to. The conclusion is that so called spot prices in China aren’t a great bellweather for the industry price as a whole. They then discuss the outlook for the hydroxide and carbonate markets, and what needs to happen for a true “benchmark”price to emerge. Simon shares a lithium-inspired James Bond plot, and the Benchmark Boys don’t leave empty-footed. Fortune has smiled on Global Lithium Podcast listeners because Emily forgot has agreed to send a few kimono/t-shirt themed podcast kooziesone to listeners who leaves who leave a review and send a screenshot to globallithiumpodcast@gmail.com.  Better than an ice bath or a visit to a London pub, Episode 20 of the #GlobalLithiumPodcast will be online by the weekend. @sdmoores &amp; @amiller_bmi join us for a wide ranging conversation. @globallithium @LithiumPodcast pic.twitter.com/lSdXXVPLbY — Joe Lowry (@globallithium) September 5, 2018

E20: Simon Says

This episode, “Time Travelers: The Future is Now” puts “global” in the Global Lithium Podcast. Joe is one day ahead; recording from Tokyo, the site of Battery Japan, on Saturday while Emily who is at the Colorado School of Mines for a Critical Materials meeting, has her feet firmly planted in Friday afternoon. The podcast team catches up with each other as well as battery-expert Sam Jaffe of Cairn Energy to go over the latest in lithium news. They discuss the new demand forecast from Albemarle as well as SQM’s latest pricing and production information. They also review the status of the transition to high nickel cathodes and the implications on the raw material choice between carbonate and hydroxide. Sam talks about the Chinese EV subsidy regime and how it impacts cathode decisions. Emily praises the mustache of Dr Dieter Zetsche of Daimler as well as his company’s new mobility JV with BMW. Joe calls FastMarket’s latest brine production numbers into question and revisits Morgan Stanley’s refusal to admit the error of their ways on their well worn oversupply ($8/kg carbonate price) narrative. The trio continues by chatting about Galaxy’s finally closed deal with Posco for Sal de Vida tenements and what happens next on the Salar del Hombre Muerto in Argentina. The podcast closes with some “rapid fire” questions for Sam. Episode 33 is brought to you by Zelandez — bringing actionable data to brine exploration companies faster. For more information please check out www.zelandez.com Since I returned at 1am this morning from #BatteryJapan, I have completed one expert call and had requests for 3 more. The last round of earnings calls from $LTHM $ALB &amp; $SQM have investors more confused than ever. pic.twitter.com/sjkdCH8u8f— Joe Lowry (@globallithium) March 4, 2019 Special shout-out to @LithiumPodcast and @globallithium  for having me on the Global Lithium Podcast.

E33: Time Travelers: The Future is Now

The Global Lithium Podcast team convenes for an emergency session to address the pain being felt in the stock market by lithium investors. Joe and Emily take a look at FMC’s quarterly earnings call, specifically whether increased prices or volume from the Argentina operation have led to increased revenue(*spoiler alert* – it’s prices). We review Orocobre’s claim that “if desired,” they could produce 100% “battery grade” onsite. Our main story is the bloodbath lithium stocks are experiencing in the market and an examination of potential causes, including oversupply fears, price concerns, short term trading, EV demand, Chinese subsidies, and global macro conditions. We do some dramatic reading from a recently released report by the “Mad Macqs” from Macquarie that refers to a “Lithium Thunderdome” that is “sleepwalking into a tsunami of supply”. Joe and Emily conclude by congratulating Cailin Lowry on getting close to reaching her fundraising goal for her short film The Society. If you haven’t contributed yet, what are you waiting for? Get on it!  The #lithium industry doesn't need China price &gt; $20/kg to be hugely profitable. The China price is becoming rational; ROW pricing rising to new heights. It may be next year before the "smart money" gets it but price isn't dropping to single digits.  https://t.co/mdIW0ExUtW — Joe Lowry (@globallithium) August 4, 2018   Yes this is the last you will hear about @notquitecaitlin’s crowdfunding campaign. The #lithium world was a big part of getting her to 80% (which means funding &amp; success) but she would love to move from 88 to 90% in  final 24 hours https://t.co/oCtkuIAue1 pic.twitter.com/YbFrQI7LOf — Joe Lowry (@globallithium) August 4, 2018

E17: Lithium Stocks: There Will Be Blood

The past week in the lithium world has been marked by changes at the top of some of the industry’s biggest players. Joe and Emily catch up and discuss FMC’s name change to livent (pronounced lye-vent), and compare it to some past branding faux pas in FMC’s corporate history. On a personal note, Joe reflects on his relationship with the new president of Albemarle and whether or not he has the operational competence to execute what’s needed at La Negra II in Chile. In a different kind of “drama in the Atacama,” friend of the Global Lithium Podcast SQM’s CEO Patricio de Solminhac has departed, and Joe and Emily talk about what that means for SQM going forward both in Chile as well as in Argentina, Australia, and the world. Talison is expanding Greenbushes mine in Australia – but as Joe and Andy Miller of Benchmark told Marcos Barrientos at El Mercurio in Chile, this news hasn’t – and shouldn’t – rock the industry. Altura has taken a little bit of heat this week about the viability of their proposed offtaker Shaanxi – but this is likely just the tip of the iceberg and the rule rather than the exception for the majority of conversion capacity announced. Emily published her assessment of the proposed “Lithium Valley” on Linkedin this week, which contains some problematic apparent misunderstanding of lithium carbonate vs. lithium metal – which leads to 2025 estimates about 16x what Joe and other analysts predict. Joe and Emily discuss similarities between this proposal and other nationalistic, protectionist policies that are contrary to innovation. We touch on the continued negative sentiment affecting lithium stocks, and round off by thanking Cameron Henry for helping former podcast guest Cailin Lowry get closer to her short film “The Society’s” funding goal. Check Cailin’s project out here. We’re all excited to announce that Anthony Tse of Galaxy will be a guest on a future podcast, and Joe and Emily will be reunited in person in London to welcome guests Simon Moores of Benchmark and Henry Sanderson of The Financial Times to chat pricing.

E16: “Changes” – The Past Week in the Lithium World

Circle

In a smashing season finale double episode, The Global Lithium Podcast team joins Livent CEO Paul Graves in his home to chat about life, lithium, and Livent. Paul gives us his background from a small town in England, and Joe and Paul share their experiences as expats in multiple countries and cultures. They focus on the danger of becoming  a “citizen of nowhere” that can lead companies to be distanced from customers, employees, and governments.  Joe gets to the heart of Livent’s relationship with FMC, Paul provides insight into the pre and post FMC Lithium business, including clarifying that to customers, the lithium business is and will continue to be a specialty chemicals business—despite a deep desire from investors for the simplicity of a commodity business. Paul shares his thoughts on the role of a modern CEO and his responsibility to balance short term earnings pressure  with looking ahead at investing to be able to deliver what customer’s need. The EV revolution is driven by innovation and to a lesser extent public policy. Consumers increasingly value products that can deliver green transportation, safely and economically. For a lithium producer, that means viewing their product as a performance chemical. Joe and Paul chat about supply, demand and customer behavior noting that in times of supply shortages, buyers’ qualification times and processes get quite a bit more flexible. The discussion moves to product mix and the infamous hydroxide vs. carbonate debate, and the importance of keeping a product offering that serves Livent’s client base. Emily and Joe conclude part one by asking Paul about how he sees the market coming together, including his views on China, subsidies, and infrastructure. https://twitter.com/globallithium/status/1165999735209168896 I'm joining the rebellion 'cause I know it's my chanceTo socially advance, instead of sewin' some pantshttps://t.co/GLHn7S41H2— Emily Hersh (@LithiumPodcast) August 29, 2019

E49: Full Circle with FMC/Livent

In the first Global Lithium Podcast hat trick, Chris Berry is back for his third appearance—this time remotely. Joe is in North Carolina, Emily in Argentina, and Chris in New York. Together they take on the news that Nemaska is going to need CAD $375 million in additional financing, and what that is going to mean for the industry.  Chris shares his views on 2019, comparing the market to Winston Churchill and predicting falling spodumene prices as new Western Australian supply competes for currently limited conversion capacity in China.  Given that the much-hyped oversupply of lithium chemicals does not appear to be anywhere on the horizon, are automakers asleep at the wheel in what Joe describes as a “fool’s paradise?” He says the assumption is that lithium supply will magically appear without any action on automakers’ part. There three also discuss whether or not the US is willing to take the steps to take the lead in the battery space.  In light of the Livent (nee FMC) announcement that it will be exporting hydroxide produced in China, Emily takes advantage of the opportunity to pick Joe’s brain on hydroxide vs. carbonate pricing, and whether the headlong rush into hydroxide for high nickel cathodes is potentially overdone.  In case you, loyal listener, are wondering, Chris answers “rapid fire” questions and shares the story of a cheeseburger that brought him to tears.

In a smashing season finale double episode, The Global Lithium Podcast team joins <a href="https://livent.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Livent</a> CEO <a href="https://livent.com/leadership/paul-graves/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Paul Graves</a> in his home to chat about life, lithium, and Livent. Paul gives us his background from a small town in England, and Joe and Paul share their experiences as expats in multiple countries and cultures. They focus on the danger of becoming a “citizen of nowhere” that can lead companies to be distanced from customers, employees, and governments.  Joe gets to the heart of Livent’s relationship with FMC, Paul provides insight into the pre and post FMC Lithium business, including clarifying that to customers, the lithium business is and will continue to be a specialty chemicals business—despite a deep desire from investors for the simplicity of a commodity business. Paul shares his thoughts on the role of a modern CEO and his responsibility to balance short term earnings pressure with looking ahead at investing to be able to deliver what customer’s need.

E49.2: Full Circle with FMC/Livent

Joe and Emily reveal the Global Lithium Podcast version of “March Madness.” This episode keeps it short and snappy discussing several recent developments in the lithium space.  Despite high-nickel cathode hype, lithium hydroxide prices have fallen narrowing the premium versus lithium carbonate prices.  What does the disappearance of the lithium hydroxide premium mean for players who have predicated their strategy on a continued hydroxide price gap vs carbonate (looking at you, Livent)? SQM’s new CEO may have wished he could “take a mulligan” on the first earnings call in the top job. His confusing commentary left investors scratching their heads about whether SQM would be building up a “Strategic stockpile” or simply having continued production issues. Emily asks the question does SQM have the ability to lead “cartel adjacent” market behavior? By blaming his price volatility on battery innovation rather than a sub-par product, Orocobre’s new CEO fumbled in the eyes of Joe and Emily.  The Advantage CEO David Sidoo made headlines in the “Varsity Blues” pay-to-play college admissions scandal. In the EV space, Ford’s Chairman is mulling entrance to the lithium space, Volkswagen has announced 20 more EVs to be on the road by 2025, and Chinese battery maker CATL and Tesla have announced a deal, to prompting Joe to ask: “where is all the lithium coming from?  The two close on some news from Tianqi regarding their investment in the cathode business. The world is going to have a shortage Tier 1 lithium ion batteries. Tier 2 and 3 are not yet good enough for Tier 1 Western Auto producers to scale. #EV @benchmarkmin Request more info here: https://t.co/ajWevEg2wS pic.twitter.com/TO8kwBeV1K— Simon Moores (@sdmoores) March 9, 2019

E34: March Madness

Joe and Emily are back in Buenos Aires to record a special first anniversary episode of the Global Lithium Podcast! Li Liangbin the Chairman of Ganfeng and Wang Xiaoshen, the Vice Chairman came to the studio to record episode 25 immediately after meeting with President Mauricio Macri to discuss the lithium market and their investments in Argentina. Joe spent the prior two days with Messrs. Li and Wang visiting Ganfeng’s projects in Salta and Jujuy provinces. He also joined Ganfeng’s celebration with Lithium Americas at their jointly owned Minera Exar Cauchari project where the governor of Jujuy and the National Mining secretary joined in the ceremonial starting of the pump to fill the massive pond system that will likely result in Minera Exar becoming Argentina’s largest lithium producer. This is the Global Lithium Podcast’s first bilingual episode – English and Chinese. The show has a growing audience in China and felt Mr. Li’s comments should be in his native tongue, as well as translated into English very capably by Wang Xiaoshen. The four cover Ganfeng’s early days, their rapid growth, their strategy to partner with all of the “Big 3” which ultimately led to Ganfeng becoming a major player. They then discuss why Mr. Li could never sell his “baby” and how the baby ultimately became the Yao Ming of lithium. As the episode progresses it becomes clear Joe has a lot of shared history with his friends from China. Joe and Emily were honored that Ganfeng took time out of their whirlwind Argentina trip to spend time with them. Wang Xiaoshen gave Emily a bit of advice near the end of the episode—telling her she should spend more time in China. Time constraints limited the topics they were able to cover so Joe and Emily plan to have follow-up episode—in China. ——- 乔和艾米丽回到布宜诺斯艾利斯，录制全球锂电播客一周年特别节目。 赣锋锂业董事长李良彬和赣锋锂业副董事长王晓申在与阿根廷总统马克里会面后立即来到录音室录制第25集，讨论锂市场及其在阿根廷的投资。 前两天，李先生和王先生一起参观了赣锋在萨尔塔省和胡胡伊省的项目，还参加了与Lithium Americas 共同拥有的Minera Exar Cauchari项目的庆祝活动。Jujuy省长和国家矿业部长也参加了开工仪式，按下按钮向锂矿蒸发池注入第一批卤水。这个项目可能使Minera Exar成为阿根廷最大的锂生产商。 这是我们的第一部双语剧集 – 英文和中文。我们在中国的受众越来越多，我们认为李先生的评论应该用他的母语，并由王晓申先生翻译成英文。我们谈论了赣锋的早期发展，他们的快速增长，他们与所有“三巨头”合作的策略，最终赣锋成为主要参与者。我们讨论为什么李先生永远不会卖掉他的“孩子”以及这个小孩最终如何成长为锂行业中的姚明。随着本集的录制，乔与他的中国朋友也分享了很多他们过去的交集。 我们很荣幸赣锋从旋风般的阿根廷旅行中抽出时间与我们共度时光。王晓申在本集结束时给了Emily一些建议，告诉她应该在中国呆更多时间。时间限制了我们能够讨论的话题，所以我们计划不久后在中国再录制一集。    The real “Mr Lithium” aka Li Liangbin was a guest today along with my old friend Wang Xiaoshen – the “dynamic duo” of @GanfengLithium .

E31: California Dreamin’, Drama, and Dan

Joe Lowry and Emily Hersh are reunited in Las Vegas, Nevada where they meet up with the “Clay Boys” of Lithium Americas to talk in detail about that Soft Rock. In a shocking turn of events, Joe demonstrates himself capable of changing his mind now that he is learned that clay is not just play dough. Rene Leblanc reminisces about how he met Joe at FMC, and later David Deak while working for Tesla. We learn about what makes a clay project a good project, including new geology and sulfur chemistry. Emily learns that she should not be using a sledgehammer to open walnuts, as effective as it may have seemed.For the record, Emily and Joe are not photographed with a giant bong as it may have seemed. That is a two liter graduated cylinder used to demonstrate how clay behaves when wet. While the Tesla gigafactory is also located in Nevada, that’s not important to the lithium world. On the swag front, Joe has a new Nano One outfit and Emily is styling in her Primero hat. Joe and Emily give the world some swag of their own with a zip up, bottle shaped Global Lithium Podcast beer koozie, as well as some $1 beers.  Just listened to the rough cut of the upcoming E13 of the Global Lithium podcast – “The Lithium Clays: Smooth Jazz and Soft Rock”. I think that those interested in #lithium are really going to enjoy this one. It will be online soon. $LAC #LithiumNevada #Ganfeng @LithiumPodcast pic.twitter.com/7TMew34xPW — Joe Lowry (@globallithium) June 30, 2018   Great time last night was had by most at “Beers with the Global Lithium Podcast”.
